In Reply to: Managing the increased levels after EQ- free dinner for the help! posted by ad010685 on August 20, 2005 at 02:14:51:
Don't know where grhughes got his info, but each 3dB increase in power is a doubling of power. Around a 9 dB increase in spl "sounds" twice as loud. Obviously, one can run out of headroom in a hurry doing drastic eq, as even a "moderate" 3db increase will require twice the power from the amp at the boosted frequencies.
A safe approach is to use the equalizer primarily to reduce the excess, for instance if your system sounds bass or high deficient, cut the mids.
At low volume listening, the ear is less sensitive to low frequencies, and it would be safe to use as much as 10 dB boost at low levels, just remember to reduce the boost when you crank it up.
